Hi Caligirl! I also have medicaid and I'm going through Dr. Metz office, but he is no longer there as of last week. Can you tell me how long it took for medicaid to approve you? I am in about the same boat as you, but my BMI is higher with no co-morbidities. I am scheduled for December but have not yet been approved. They are transferring my surgery over to Dr. Long he is in the same office and also accepts Medicaid.
Congrats on your surgery... I hope all is well!!!
In response to all the ?s about MediCaid coverage for WLS in Colorado- I ended up having my surgery with Dr Metz at Parker Adventist hospital on 10-16-2012. He is an incredible surgeon and his staff was top notch. They are a Center of Excellence facility and it shows! Everything is done in house i.e. Nut, Psych, Seminar & weightloss classes and I had ZERO out of pocket expense!! I was approved with straight MediCaid with a BMI of 40.1 and no co-morbidities. See above posts for address & phone #
God bless!

Hi Ladies it is now 11/2 -- are you on at all? How did it go and how are you doing now? I have one more piece of information to go and they can submit my paperwork for insurance approval. Would really like to hear how things are going if you are up to telling. :) I know it is hard and I hope you are doing well.

Hi Cheryl
This is my first time back on this site since surgery. I am still in the early recovery stages so..... I have found the OH site to be an excellent source of information and "real" human chatter on everything relating to this process. Use it there are a ton of very knowledgeable people on this site. Good luck in your journey and yes keep me posted. I am finding that the more support you have the better.

Hi Knitty
Just plugging along since surgery had a dry heaves issue that kept in the hospital till 10/25. Good to be home. My first support meeting isn't until December. Highlands Ranch is the closest to me. I had been scheduled for one in Nov. but it was canceled. I have found the OH to be a great resource and support. I too have Kaiser but had Dr. Husain; she is great! Keep in touch I am so happy to see how great you have done. Any pointers?
Hi, new to this blog. I am scared silly about the upcoming surgery and how it is going to change my life. I do not have the surgery scheduled yet -- waiting on one last piece of data for the insurance/bariatric surgeon. Love to keep in touch. Love the support as well.
